Teams news: Portsmouth manager Tony Adams made three changes to the side which lost at Bolton last weekend in an attempt to snap a three-game winless streak.

Twenty-one Marc Wilson was brought in for Noe Pamarot, while Nadir Belhadj and Glen Little replaced Papa Bouba Diop and Hermann Hreidarsson.

Pompey were once again without right-back Glen Johnson, who broke down in training this week following a persistent knee problem.

West Ham midfielder Scott Parker was fit to start after shaking off a muscle strain as boss Gianfranco Zola kept faith in the team which lost 1-0 to Aston Villa last time out.

Line-ups:

Portsmouth: James, Wilson, Campbell, Distin, Belhadj, Little, Davis, Hughes, Kranjcar, Crouch, Defoe. Subs: Ashdown, Hreidarsson, Diop, Nugent, Pamarot, Kanu, Armand Traore.
West Ham: Green, Neill, Davenport, Upson, Ilunga, Collison, Noble, Parker, Behrami, Cole, Bellamy. Subs: Lastuvka, Boa Morte, Mullins, Collins, Faubert, Tristan, Di Michele.
Referee: Steve Bennett (Kent)

0mins: Kick-off

08: GOAL for Pompey - After an even start, Glen Little whips over a cross from the right to the back stick, Peter Crouch takes the ball down and Nadir Belhadj fires into the net from around the penalty spot. Fratton Park goes nuts on Boxing Day!

13: Inswinging corner from Hammers' Mark Noble results in an effort by Calum Davenport, but his shot goes harmlessly over the target.

17: Niko Krancar tries the spectacular from 25 yards but Lucas Neill gets a block in.

20: GOAL - Herita Ilunga gets in a cross from the West Ham left and it falls for Jack Collison to send the ball goalwards. His low, right-foot shot flies past two bodies in the way of David James and the England number one is unsighted and helpless to stop it going in. Pompey 1 West Ham 1.

29: Jermain Defoe responds for Pompey. He conjurs up a left-footed shot from the edge of the area, only to see it go wide of the post.

34: Peter Crouch's gets in a volley from a deep Glen Little right-wing cross but it's kept out by Hammers goalkeeper Robert Green. The visitors look like they might lose captain Lucas Neill - he looks to have gone over on his ankle earlier on in the same move.

35: Sean Davis connects sweetly with a volley but Green is able to keep it out.

40: Calum Davenport wraps his arms around Peter Crouch on the edge of the box, but nothing is given by the referee. Unbelievable!

44: West Ham almost snatch the lead. Sol Campbell is forced to head off the line after David James makes a mess of racing off his line to deny Craig Bellamy.

45: PENALTY MISS Jermain Defoe drags his spot kick wide after Neill had fouled Peter Crouch. Chance missed.

Half-time: Pompey 1 West Ham 1

46: West Ham bring Julien Faubert on for the injured Lucan Neill

53: Green pulls off yet another fine save to deny Peter Crouch from 10 yards after a cross from Sylvain Distin found the striker.

65: An escape for Pompey. Bellamy crosses to the near post and Carlton Cole slides in with David James, with the squirming under the keeper and just rolling wide. Then centre-back Matthew Upson rattles the crossbar with a header. The Blues are lucky to survive the onslaught.

67: GOAL And it's disaster for Pompey. Bellamy torments the Pompey defence once again and his cross is struck firmly against the post by Jack Collison, the ball rebounding kindly to Carlton Cole who slots into the net from close range.

70: GOAL The afternoon goes from bad to worse for Tony Adams. Marc Wilson goes close to scoring his first-ever Pompey goal on his Premier League debut, only for the Hammers to race up the other end and bag number three. Bellamy keeps his cool to smash home. Tough luck for Pompey.

83: GOAL It's getting embarrassing now. Luis Boa Morte gets to the byeline down the left and pulls the ball back for that man Bellamy to slot into the far corner. Very much game over now.

Full-time: Pompey 1 West Ham 4
